10. The children of Israel travelled, and encamped in Oboth.
11. They travelled from Oboth, and encamped at Iyeabarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, towards the sunrise.
12. From there they travelled, and encamped in the valley of Zered.
13. From there they travelled, and encamped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness that comes out of the border of the Amorites; for the Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
14. Therefore it is said in the book of the Wars of the Lord, “Vaheb in Suphah, the valleys of the Arnon,
15. the slope of the valleys that incline towards the dwelling of Ar, leans on the border of Moab.”
16. From there they travelled to Beer; that is the well of which the Lord said to Moses, “Gather the people together, and I will give them water.”
17. Then Israel sang this song:“Spring up, well! Sing to it,
18. the well, which the princes dug,which the nobles of the people dug,with the sceptre, and with their poles.”From the wilderness they travelled to Mattanah;
19. and from Mattanah to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel to Bamoth;
20. and from Bamoth to the valley that is in the field of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looks down on the desert.
21. Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
22. “Let me pass through your land. We will not turn away into field or vineyard. We will not drink of the water of the wells. We will go by the king’s highway, until we have passed your border.”
